I built my first system last night, and it all went smoothly with no issues!
I spent a couple of hours spinning my wheels trying to figure out conflicts in the instructions between the mother board, case, power supply, video card, etc. I finally threw them all away and built the system just going by the mother board layout drawing. Everything worked great!
Thanks for all of the help I received here in the forums. Three weeks ago, I knew nothing about computers. Now I've got my first system under my belt without a single glitch!
I finished at 4:30am and came to work after 1 1/2 hours of sleep! Worth it, though!
